8Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field until no place is left and you live alone in the land.
9I heard the LORD of Hosts declare: “Surely many houses will become desolate, great mansions left unoccupied.
10For ten acres of vineyard will yield but a bath of wine, and a homer of seed only an ephah of grain.”
11Woe to those who rise early in the morning in pursuit of strong drink, who linger into the evening, to be inflamed by wine.
12At their feasts are the lyre and harp, tambourines and flutes and wine. They disregard the actions of the LORD and fail to see the work of His hands.
13Therefore My people will go into exile for their lack of understanding; their dignitaries are starving and their masses are parched with thirst.
14Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat and opens wide its enormous jaws, and down go Zion’s nobles and masses, her revelers and carousers!
15So mankind will be brought low, and each man humbled; the arrogant will lower their eyes.
16But the LORD of Hosts will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.
17Lambs will graze as in their own pastures, and strangers will feed in the ruins of the wealthy.
